This song is a favourite song of myself and my brother. When I was much younger, on starry nights or when there is full moon in the sky, we'd go outside the house, sit side-by-side and watch the stars in the sky. Sometimes we have a lot to say, sometimes we just share earphones and watch in silence. We used to listen to this song on repeat and it's one of my favourite memories.
Though quite melancholic, the song holds a ray of hope that's equivalent, for me, to an embrace. Like you're almost certain someone is definitely talking back to you. Days when I feel lonely, I'd listen to the song and just feel optimistic.
Esta canción es una de las favoritas de mi hermano y yo. Cuando era mucho más joven, en las noches estrelladas o cuando hay luna llena en el cielo, salíamos de casa, nos sentábamos uno al lado del otro y observábamos las estrellas en el cielo. A veces teníamos mucho que decir, otras veces simplemente compartíamos los auriculares y observábamos en silencio. Solíamos escuchar esta canción repetidamente y es uno de mis recuerdos favoritos.
Aunque es bastante melancólica, la canción encierra un rayo de esperanza que equivale, para mí, a un abrazo. Como si estuvieras casi seguro de que alguien te está respondiendo. Los días en que me siento solo, escucho la canción y me siento optimista.
Lyrics
I know you're somewhere out there
Somewhere far away
I want you back, I want you back
My neighbors think I'm crazy
But they don't understand
You're all I had, you're all I had
At night, when the stars light up my room
I sit by myself
Talking to the moon
Trying to get to you
In hopes you're on the other side talking to me too
Or am I a fool who sits alone talking to the moon?
Oh-oh
I'm feeling like I'm famous, the talk of the town
They say I've gone mad
Yeah, I've gone mad
But they don't know what I know
'Cause when the sun goes down, someone's talking back
Yeah, they're talking back, oh
At night, when the stars light up my room
I sit by myself
Talking to the moon
Trying to get to you
In hopes you're on the other side talking to me too
Or am I a fool who sits alone talking to the moon?
Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah
Do you ever hear me calling?
(Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah) oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
'Cause every night, I'm talking to the moon
Still trying to get to you
In hopes you're on the other side talking to me too
Or am I a fool who sits alone talking to the moon?
Oh-oh
I know you're somewhere out there
Somewhere far away
